We know many of you are involved in prayer groups so if you will please add these names too, we really appreciate it!

Ginny-Mom goes in for chemo tomorrow (Wednesday) and then expects a visit from Courtney, Kristin, PJ, James, Tom & Carrie for Thanksgiving. We're so happy to have the opportunity to be together! We're very thankful to you for being in our lives and will give a special blessing to all of you this year. Tremendous thanks, great happiness, and good health to all!

With much love,

Team Ginny-Mom

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month!



Dear Family & Friends,

What better way to show your support for Ginny-Mom than to help us raise lung cancer awareness!

Throughout the month of November we'll post information and lung cancer facts to help spread the word and lead to a cure! In the meantime, some of Ginny's friends have designed a terrific bracelet we are all so proud to wear. It says, "Ginny's Army Fighting the War Against Lung Cancer". (It's similar in style to the yellow Livestrong bracelets created by Lance Armstrong's Foundation, but ours is done in an opaque white color as you'll see in the attached photos.)

We are happy to send bracelets out immediately to anyone who is interested. Donations are being made to The American Cancer Society and will be earmarked specifically for Lung Cancer Research.

To place a bracelet order or for more information, please contact:

Kristin Doehner: krdoehner@gmail.com
Carrie Rodgers: carrierost@gmail.com

A very special thank you to the "Card Club" for helping to spread the word and raise awareness, and to all of you who've already shown your support....WE THANK YOU!!!

Love,
Team Ginny-Mom / Ginny's Army
